I used Recuva Pro to recover some .mov video files i deleted by mistake on an SD card from my Nikon D5300. The software recovered the files, but it only showed them as part recovered.
I have tried to open these files with Adobe Premiere Elements 15 and with Quicktime and Windows Moviemaker, but none of them will open.
I have read on some internet searches that its probably a Codec that is needed. Various third party sites offer a solution but I don't wish to download this from a website unless I know this is the problem. Plus I have doubts about some of the sites.
Does anyone have any experience of this problem please? Perhaps you could give me some guidance. Is it some software that i need to add to my editing software or is it something that should be done at the recovery stage?
I still have the SD card. It has not been formatted or anything since the mistake, the files were simply deleted.
Thanks in advance
